>does anybody have a recipe for baklava?
Get a box of filo leaves (the nifty pastry things that are the flaky part
of baklava. There should be a recipe on that.
The recipe as I remember it is:
1 box filo leaves
1 pound unsalted butter
whole cloves
1/2 pound (more or less) walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp cinammon
for syrup:
1 cup honey
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
2 Tbsp lemon juice (more or less to taste)
melt the butter
Mix walnuts, 1/2 cup sugar and the cinammon.
butter bottom of pan with pastry brush
lay one filo leaf on bottom of pan
butter filo
(This gets to be a regular thing. Every filo leaf has its obligatory
coating of butter.
Repeat 12 times on bottom
Put some walnut mixture on.
Lay four filo leaves (with butter)
more walnuts.
4 more filo
More walnuts (anyone see a pattern here)
When you run out of walnuts, 12 more filo leaves
Refrigerate for an hour
Make 1" wide cuts through the entire mess, then diagonally
about every 1"
Place a clove in the middle of each Baklave diamond
Bake at 350 degrees for about an your or until brown.
While baking, mix 1 cup sugar, 1 cup water, 1 cup honey until
sugar is dissolved. (Leftover does wonderful things for
hot tea)
Pour syrup mixture on and allow to cool.
Enjoy!
This is from memory, but since I never follow the recipe anyway,
one is encouraged to experiment!
